As they’re wont to do, like children sneaking peeks of their vacation presents, some common Fortnite dataminers have gone snooping by way of the game information in as we speak’s 12.5 replace in search of clues to Fortnite’s future.
They’ve unwrapped what could be a giant one: one thing that seems to be a brand new, smaller map for Fortnite all about partying and minigaming with pals reasonably than combating for victory royales. According to the information leakers, a brand new map referred to as “Papaya” can have impediment programs, fishing, and skydiving with pals amongst different actions.
Here’s the map posted by “VastBlast” to your consideration. It’s a bit smaller than Fortnite’s major map, coated with icons indicating what will be the new actions throughout a central hub space.
According to VastBlast, the outline for a brand new Party Mode discovered on Papaya reads “race around obstacle courses by land or sea, perfect your skydive, go fishing with friends, and more.” Vast additionally posted an image of what they declare is an e-mail from Epic giving just a few preview particulars about upcoming modes. In that screenshot, Party Royale is described as “a new experimental and evolving space.”
Epic positive have been doing plenty of experimenting with Fortnite as a stay area already, what with final week’s Travis Scott concert, the Marshmellow concert final yr, and that Star Wars event for Rise of Skywalker.
This does appear a possible new Fortnite-y experiment, however till we’ve received phrase from Epic themselves, do not forget that these are simply leaks.
